Holiday Makeup Look // Collab with ByFrancoise

Hello everyone! Today's post is a collab with the gorgeous Francoise, a Dutch Beauty Blogger. We decided to team up and create two holiday looks; Francoise's look focuses on the Red and Gold aspect of Christmas (featuring gold eyes and red lips) while mine focuses on a more neutral makeup look for a Holiday Dinner or even a Party.

I've already done my face makeup and filled in sparse areas of my brows. To start this look off, I am going to begin with The Nudes Palette from Maybelline and take a light, shimmery brown as an all over lid colour.

Next, I am going in with a gold eyeshadow from Ralo Cosmetics in the shade '22 Gold' on the centre of my lid to create somewhat of a halo effect.

I am then going to apply the a matte brown colour using my Revlon eyeshadow brush, into my crease as a transition shade and outer v.

To add a bit of definition and highlight underneath my browbone, I am using this gorgeous cream-pink shade.

This will help to define my eyes as well as create more depth. To finish off the eye look, I am using an all-time favourite mascara from Rimmel in the shade '004 Jet Black' from the Kate Moss collection.

The finished eye look looks like this:

Moving onto face, I am using my second main product for this look and that is the Blush & Contour Palette from Makeup Revolution and taking this gorgeous champagne highlighter and applying that on the top of my cheekbones using a Real Techniques brush.

I love this palette as it just helps to create a gorgeous glow on the skin as well as add a bit of warmth to my face. Lastly, I am going to use this gorgeous nude plushglass in the shade 'Big Baby' from M.A.C Cosmetics.

I like to apply it just using the applicator and starting from the inside and working my way outwards to ensure maximum coverage. What I love about this product is that even though it has a gloss-like texture, it is definitely less shiny and goopy.

That is it for my finished makeup look! As I have already mentioned, this is a collab with Francoise, so please be sure to have a look at her blog! She is so friendly, and absolutely stunning!Francoise's Blog: http://www.byfrancoise.com/

One thing I
often get asked when I travel is 'how do you travel low-waste?', so in
today's post, I want to share what I've learnt about traveling
sustainably. Often people forget that where they're going may have the
biggest impact on sustainable travel. It's no secret that traveling by
train is the greener option and should probably the first choice for
travel if the destination is close, but if you're flying, here's ways to
reduce your carbon footprint. 1. Before you leave

Try to book a direct flight to save on carbon emissionsGo digital - Download all tickets and
refuse paper receipts (unless you need to keep info on paper). This also
includes downloading entertainment, instead of buying books or magazines
before your trip. Try and get the books secondhand or from the library. Travel light - People pack more than they will ever need to use or
wear while on holiday. I try to travel using only carry on luggage by
taking into consideration t…

I wear makeup often. About four days out of the week, and I like to do a full coverage routine. It's a preference that I've had for ages as I feel like it just completes the whole makeup look but one thing about me is that I don't clean my brushes nearly as often as I should. I've recently gotten in the habit of doing so because if I don't, I get horrible breakouts on my cheeks, nose and along my jaw. My skin type is oily and oily skin can also be very acne prone so breakouts are often unexpected. To keep them at bay, I simplified my skincare routine. I've narrowed it down to three cruelty-free and zero waste products which I use almost daily.

The first product is a facial soap from a zero waste store called Babongo. It's a Pine & Charcoal face soap which I use to cleanse my face every morning and before I go to sleep. The product is completely natural which I love and maintains the oiliness of my skin.

I was looking through some old posts for future inspiration and i came across my old post about what I keep with me when I travel. A lot has changed since that post regarding beauty and skincare and I'm excited to share it with you! As always, everything I own regarding beauty and most things I own regarding skincare (unless medicated) are cruelty-free or vegan. Here's what is in my current travel makeup bag, in the order that I apply my products! Eyebrow Kit & Lashes

The Wet n Wild Eyebrow Kit in the shade 'Brunette' has been a holy grail in my makeup kit, not just when I travel. I love that it comes with two pressed eyebrow powders; a dark brown and a black. It includes a wax to set the hairs in place, a tweezer for any last minute fixes, a brush applicator to apply the product and a built in mirror for only €4.79 if you purchase it from BoozyShop. It's one of my favourite drugstore purchases and if you're looking for a new eyebrow product, this might be a …
